Help Troubleshooting '00 C5 with Aftermarket Stereo
I recently purchased a '00 C5 Convertible with an aftermarket Kenwood Touchscreen Stereo and a 10 disc changer in the trunk (which, for the life of me, I can't find a name brand on). All of the functions on the touchscreen work fine (DVD, AUX (which is for an iPod connection in the glove compartment), in-dash CD, etc.) except for the changer. It just shows "EJECT" at the bottom of the screen when I try to use it. Is there any troubleshooting I can do before I have to take it in? Thanks!

Just a thought but the changer could be original to the car and not hooked up to the new radio.

Has the changer ever worked? Is it powered? Is it mounted in the rear tub, and does it 'look' like an oem install? Can you post a pic of it?
If it is oem, then it can't be connected to the Kenwood

It does have power because I can hear the disc loading/trying to load after putting the magazine in. It is mounted in the trunk and I will take a pic the next time I go to where it is stored. It has a door on the left that slides open, and the magazine pops out and there is no name brand to be found.
If I had to make an educated guess, I would say if is an aftermarket install.

It looks like it was an aftermarket install but that is just an educated guess.
